Metra 200 pulls into Belmont Station with an outbound from Chicago.
3 Dash 9's with BNSF 4743 on the point, highball a Westbound Stack Train through Belmont Station.
Two SD40-2's BN 7003 and FURX 8127 lead a very colorful Stack Train West.
I made sure my 100th photo was something special! AMTK 69, the outbound California Zephyr blows through Belmont Station as an inbound Metra 187 pushes hard out of the station.
201 pushes its train out of Belmont Station and on towards Downers Grove-Main Street
Metra 404 in the plant at Fairview Ave.
Evening inbound commuters have nothing better to do but watch this intermodal roar through town...Of course probably none of them know that there is an H2 Dash 9 leading, an ATSF Dash 9 after that... (more)
An ATSF SD45-2 along with a BN SD40-2 lead a mostly red Hyundai stack train west. Nice to see GOOD EMDs still being useful.
Three Dash 9s run wrong main due to trackwork earlier. After the morning's wind and rain, these trees lost quite a few of their leaves.
The outbound CA Zephyr has a Horizon class coah just behind the P42s, but lacks any freight...
BNSF 4831 passes METX 192, with two BN SD40-2s. Notice 4831 is missing a numberboard.
197's train pulls up to it's red signal as it waits for Amtrak to switch over onto his track.
AMTK 72 (with a huge dent in the front) sneaks up from behind 192, which is just about to leave the station.
189 slows to a stop at Fairview Ave. in Downers Grove.
Chilly in October? Perish the thought. A westbound intermodal train featuring ample power, including the odd NS C40-9W, rolls into the plant at Fairview Avenue.
